Race Information
It’s getting cold outside, which can mean only one thing – it’s time to get out there and run! Gather up your thermal underwear and neck warmers and start training today for this annual event celebrating the Winter Carnival!
Runners and walkers will have the opportunity to participate in a NoK (pay to not run), 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, and Kid's Run, and go past the Vulcan Snow Park at the same time! Everyone will receive a long-sleeved Winter Carnival Fire & Ice Run Shirt, your choice of the Winter Carnival Buttons, and post-race snacks. Kids receive a beanie hat instead of a shirt.
